I have booked respite for my husband, (74 5yrs into diagnosis of Alzheimers) at the end of August. The home looks excellent and the staff were great when I visited. I think he will be well looked after and they are clear they can manage his difficult and challenging behaviour (I spared them nothing in describing it!). My problem is how do I get him there (with the case, labelled clothes etc) and leave him there. He has no recent recall at all so there is little point in discussing it with him and it would probably provoke one of his tantrums but I can't imagine how I'm going to get away without him following him - he is very fit and active but follows me everywhere - unless he goes on one of his prowls. Any suggestions would be welcome.
